Change language:
14 kg of heroin was found hidden in two Portuguese men’s luggage at Budapest Liszt Ferenc International airport, Hvg.hu reports. The men came to Budapest from Kenya through Zurich.
After the arrival of their flight from Zurich, the two Portuguese men came through the green corridor of the A/2 terminal, pretending that they had nothing to declare. However, workers of the National Tax and Customs Administration decided to examine their belongings.
There was no problem with the men’s hand luggage, but 14 kg of heroin was found in their hold luggage.
The men had three suitcases as hold luggage, and suspicious signs were spotted when the bags were going through the x-ray machine. When the suitcases were opened, the traces of glue all over the bags led the workers to discover that the suitcases had double walls.
Inside the hidden section of the suitcases, 14 kg heroin was found which is worth approximately HUF 211,000,000.
The huge amount of narcotics was confiscated, and the two men were charged immediately.
